In Omarosa Manigault-Newman’s tell all book “Unhinged,” she claims that the 2016 rumors were true and there is a tape of President Trump using the N-word while filming his reality television show “The Apprentice” (no such tape has been proven to exist yet). She also claims that she was involved in a phone call with Trump’s campaign aides where they discussed how to spin the tape if it was leaked. On Tuesday, a tape of the alleged phone conversation was provided to CBS.
In the recording, Trump’s campaign spokeswoman Katrina Pierson says she is attempting to find out in what context Trump used the N-word so that they can “try to figure out a way to spin it.” Trump aide Lynne Patton then reveals a conversation she had with Trump about the tape. “I said, well, sir, can you think of anytime that this might have happened and he said, no,” she says. At the end of the tape, Pierson seems to claim that she thinks Trump did say the word when she says, “He said. No, he said it. He is embarrassed by it.” The audio clearly reveals that the Trump aides had not heard the recording at the time of the phone conversation.
In an interview with Fox News on Monday, Pierson completely denied discussing the tape with Patton and Manigault-Newman in a phone conversation. She said, “That did not happen, it sounds like she’s [Manigault-Newman] writing a script for a movie.” However, after the phone conversation tape was released on Tuesday, the recording conflicts with Pierson’s original statement. She has yet to respond to the new tape.
